I dig a bit more and individual drivers are still picked up via
drm-misc, but I guess Oded has much less time now [1] and even recent
changes to drivers/accel/drm_accel.c went via other person. With tree
being dropped from the next, it should probably be removed from the
MAINTAINERS. I'll just send a patch, easier to comment there.
